The “Sultan” of Oman offers Rp. 15.5 billion for Messi’s cape!

Doha

Tail imposed Lionel Messi Of 2022 World Cup Finals continues to be a phenomenon There are even those who are willing to buy it for 15.5 billion IDR!

Messi didn’t just steal the spotlight in his final match at the Lusail Iconic Stadium on Sunday (12/18/2022) WIB evening, thanks to his two goals against France and World Cup Player of the Year title.

However, when he was handed over the championship trophy, Messi looked different because he wore the typical robe of an Arab named Bisht. It was the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, who put it on Messi.

Messi also lifted the World Cup trophy wrapped in his robe. The suits then became controversial because FIFA actually prohibits attributes other than jerseys in their ceremonial events.

However, the Bisht robe is an Arab tradition and is supposed to be worn at the World Cup held in the Middle East.

On the one hand, Bisht quickly became synonymous because many wanted to dress like Messi on the stage of the world champions.

Many fans bought them in flea markets after the final match. There are even inflated prices due to high demand.

One of the wealthy Omanis, Ahmed Al-Barwani, even dared to bid for Messi’s cape up to US$1 million or around Rp. 15.5 billion!

“My friend Messi… I represent the Sultanate of Oman, I would like to congratulate you on winning the 2022 World Cup,” Al-Barwani said on his Twitter account.

“Emir Tamim amazed me when he dressed you in a typical Arabic Bisht, a symbol of generosity and wisdom. I am ready to pay you 1 million dollars to have this Bisht.”

And Messi?
